### 👩🍳 How to Make Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast
#### 1. **Prepare the Roux**
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, whisking constantly until the mixture turns a light golden color. This is your roux, the base for the creamy sauce.
#### 2. **Add Milk Slowly**
Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir to prevent lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
#### 3. **Add the Chipped Beef**
Rinse the dried beef under warm water to reduce excess saltiness, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Stir the beef into the creamy sauce and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
#### 4. **Season and Serve**
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Spoon the creamy chipped beef over warm buttered toast slices and serve immediately.

### 💡 Tips for the Perfect Creamed Chipped Beef
* **Control saltiness:** Rinse the dried beef to remove excess salt or use low-sodium beef if available.
* **Milk choice:** Whole milk makes for a richer sauce, but you can substitute with 2% or even a non-dairy alternative if preferred.
* **Make it creamy:** For an extra creamy texture, add a splash of heavy cream or a spoonful of cream cheese.
* **Fresh herbs:** Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
